Our office building on the Black Warrior river in Tuscaloosa has been awarded the Gold LEED certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The council’s program - Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED - awards points for efficient en-ergy use, water conservation, use of environmentally-friendly construction materials and other factors.

As part owners of the building, the shareholders of JMF felt that it was im-portant from the beginning of the de-sign and construction planning phas-es to do the best they could to place a “green” building in this beautiful site along the Black Warrior river. The building is the first and only Tus-caloosa area building to be certified by LEED. There are only seven Gold LEED

certified buildings in the state and only a few are owned by private businesses. Deciding to build “green” added to the initial cost of the building but the energy efficient features and the im-proved indoor and outdoor environ-ment are expected to more than pay for themselves, while providing a work environment where JMF can better serve our clients.

Building brings home the GOLD for the environment

Carl Jamison named to leadership positions The Business Council of Alabama has named Carl Jamison as Second Vice Chairman for the calendar year 2011. “We are fortunate to have such dedicated volunteer leaders who willingly give their time and talents in support of policies that expand the free enterprise system in Alabama,” said BCA President and CEO William Canary. Since BCA’s founding in 1985, with the merger of the Alabama Chamber of Commerce and the Associated Industries of Alabama, their goal has been to im-prove Alabama’s business climate. BCA currently has some 5,000 members, who employ nearly three-quarters of a million Alabamians. Carl has also been appointed to the Commission on Job Creation by Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard. Hubbard’s goal for the commission is for a group of Alabama business leaders to find ways to boost private sector job growth with state law and policy changes.
